It is a useful [[reagent]] in chemical synthesis. It forms an [[Chemical equilibrium|equilibrium mixture]] with [[nitrogen dioxide]]. Its molar mass is 92.011 g/mol. Dinitrogen tetroxide is a powerful [[oxidizer]] that is [[hypergolic]] (spontaneously reacts) upon contact with various forms of [[hydrazine]], which has made the pair a common [[bipropellant]] for rockets.
